Possibly my favorite picture from my stay in Europe.

As some of you may or may not know, I have been in Europe for the past 5+ weeks and will be returning back to the States on Saturday. This past weekend I went to Italy to watch a friend play in the Roller Hockey World Championships held in Roccaraso. Before her team arrived at the hotel we were staying at, I met a 20 year old camp counselor who spoke decent english. He was in charge of about 30 Italian boys from ages 10-14 and their soccer schedule.

These boys were staying at the same hotel as me, and I was invited to attend their scrimmages where numerous professional scouts including a guy from Juventus were present to take names and get children into their youth squads. The picture below is me front and center with these kids!

For one reason or another I really cherished my time with the kids, only one spoke English well enough that I could converse with him. But somehow, whether by playing foosball or ping pong at nights, this was a highlight of my 6 stay in Europe. Once the USA roller hockey team arrived, the boys would chant "USA! USA! USA!" every time they saw a team member. Just thought I would share.

It's really sad that you've been in Europe for 6 weeks and this is the best pic u could could come up with... I would do way better than that with one night in Europe.

And who the hell do u think you are with all those kids??

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
